What is An Observation Log of My Fiancée Who Calls Herself a VillainessAbout?
Shiki first serialized the story on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website, and AlphaPolis released the original novel in two volumes in 2017 with illustrations by Wan Hachipisu. Hanashi Media publishes the light novel series in English.
Here’s a description of the story, via Hanashi Media:
Exceptionally gifted to his own detriment, Prince Cecil had always found life effortlessly mundane. One ordinary day, his life took an unexpected turn when he became engaged to Miss Bertia, the Chancellor’s daughter. This engagement, however, was anything but typical.
“Prince Cecil! I must confess – I am the villain of this story!” Bertia’s declaration was startling. She claimed to have memories of her former life, where she had been the antagonist in a “Otome game”. Her lofty ambition was to excel as a villainess and thus have her engagement annulled. However, despite her plans for various misdeeds, her attempts have always been unsuccessful.
PLAYISM and NIGORO have announced that the online battle update for Rose & Camellia Collection will launch on June 22. As previously announced, Rose & Camellia Collection players must have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to play online.
Rose & Camellia Collection is available now for Nintendo Switch with a total of five “high-class slapfest” games: Rose & Camellia, Rose & Camellia 2, Rose & Camelliavs. La-Mulana, Rose & Camellia 3, and Rose & Camellia 4. The third and fourth entries are new and made their debut with the new collection, which supports dedicated Joy-Con controls and touch screen controls on Nintendo Switch.
Here’s an overview of the collection from physical publisher Limited Run Games:
Rose & Camellia Collection tells the tale of an over-the-top upper-crust inheritance battle spread across five games. As tensions and tempers rise amidst the division of family wealth and power, so do open hands, resulting in a series of ludicrous one-on-one slap battles between the all-female cast. Using either immersive Joy-Con motion controls or touch-screen swipes, you’ll smack some respect into your aristocratic adversaries by slapping, dodging, feinting, and countering until only one heiress is left standing.
Five games in one: Rose & Camellia, Rose & Camellia 2, Rose & Camellia 3, Rose & Camellia 4, and Rose & Camellia vs. La-Mulana
Make your mark on high society in a story of aristocratic absurdity!
Reflex-based one-on-one battles: slap, dodge, feint, and counter your way to victory!
Two different control methods: motion-based Joy-Con controls or touch-screen swipes!

The World Is Dancing
Release Date and Time: June 29, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. EDT (13:30 UTC)
Synopsis: One does not need dance to live. In 1374, during the turbulent age when the Northern and Southern Courts were locked in conflict, the Northern Court’s shogun, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, was becoming an increasingly dominant force. Born the son of Kanami, head of the Kanze troupe of sarugaku performers, Oniyasha drifts through his days with a hazy question lodged in his heart: Why do people dance? His spirit remains clouded, until the day he encounters a dance that is truly “good.” Curious, sensitive, and strikingly beautiful, the boy meets people, laughs, cries, confronts his own weaknesses, and slowly begins to shape a new form of dance for a world steeped in impermanence.
HELL MODE: The Hardcore Gamer Dominates in Another World with Garbage Balancing Season 2
Release Date and Time: July 3, 2026, at 12:30 p.m. EDT (16:30 UTC)
Synopsis: 35-year-old Kenichi Yamada has spent his life playing every single MMORPG he can get his hands on. Tired of new games that cater to casual players, he leaps at the chance to try out a never-ending game with an intimidating “Hell Mode” that raises the difficulty (and chances to level up) to impossible heights. But as soon as he selects the “Summoner,” he finds himself reborn to a family of serfs as a baby named Allen in the world of the game! With naught but his memories and wits to guide him, Allen sets off to conquer Hell Mode, unearth the secrets of the Summoner class, and free his newfound family from their fate.

Release Date and Time: July 6, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. EDT (14:30 UTC)
Synopsis: Rin Takanashi, a caregiver in her thirties, was unceremoniously discarded as “trash” despite being summoned as a saint. However, as a lover of the great outdoors and all things camping, she was blessed with a special skill, [Survival], as well as another unique skill! Thus, a riveting tale begins: one of sweat, tears, and insatiable hunger as Rin, together with companions she picked up along the way, leisurely explores this parallel world and savors gourmet cuisine to her heart’s content… Or so the story should have gone, but it looks like their road is going in an unexpected direction…?
The Devil May Cry series is one of Capcom’s best for so many reasons. You get memorable characters, fun narratives, comedic moments, great music, and superb gameplay all wrapped up in a package that is always hard to put down. It’s been over seven years now since the release of Devil May Cry 5, a game I view as one of my favorite action games of the last generation. Beyond the story finally answering some long-time questions, gameplay was just incredible, and I spent dozens of hours just messing around in Bloody Palace after rolling credits.
As someone who is always busy and gaming in short spurts anywhere I can, the Nintendo Switch 2 has been a godsend for me since its release last June. I’ve enjoyed diving back into some of my backlog, but what’s really excited me has been all the games that didn’t make it to Switch making the jump over to Switch 2. Devil May Cry 5 was one of my most wanted ports, and finally, Capcom revealed Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition during this month’s Nintendo Direct.
I’ve had the chance to spend some time with Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition on Switch 2 ahead of launch, and it’s everything I wanted from a port. Devil May Cry 5, in all its glory, is a treat in both handheld and docked mode, and Nintendo Switch 2 owners are in for a grand old time with Nero, Dante, and crew.
Rev It Up
Devil May Cry 5 is split between the perspectives of the game’s three main characters: Nero, Dante, and V. The game features a mission-based structure that has you switching between these characters as the narrative unfolds and affects them all. I still wish there were more focus on the side characters, but this story is so much fun and just insane for longtime fans of the series. It’s worth noting that while you can easily enjoy this story by itself, quite a lot will go over your head if you haven’t yet experienced the previous Devil May Cry games. Thankfully, the first three games are already available on Switch (and DMC3SE in particular is a must-play on the platform), but we still do not have Devil May Cry 4.
The Devil Hunter Edition doesn’t feature any new content we haven’t seen before, but it is essentially a complete collection of everything released for DMC 5. This includes alternate costume colors for the main cast, extra Devil Breakers for Nero, battle music tracks from the first four Devil May Cry games, additional rank voices, live-action cutscenes, and the addition of Vergil as a playable character. If you played Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition, there’s nothing new here, but it’s basically everything you had there besides Turbo Mode, now on the go. I would’ve liked to see something new, but considering Itsuno and other key development members are no longer at Capcom, it isn’t all that surprising.
Gameplay is the area that matters the most with any action game, and that is especially true for Devil May Cry. Each mission is structured as a linear action stage that leads you from combat encounter to combat encounter, culminating in a boss fight. This design keeps levels focused and tight, so there is hardly any backtracking. The downside to this, though, is that some levels do feel similar to one another, especially with area design inside the Qliphoth.
With four different playable characters, combat is absolutely bonkers and never fails to be a blast. I really like describing DMC5 in particular as a character action “sandbox”, as the game really does let you go wild and experiment to your heart’s content. There are so many layers to combat, and you can really go as deep or as surface-level as you want to go. Those who really dig in and attempt to perfect combos will be heavily rewarded, but mindlessly slashing away with just a few basic attacks can still be a blast.
Nero is a blast with a wide variety of weapons to use, including his sword, gun, and Devil Breakers that can be interchanged for different abilities. Dante is chaotic with a stupidly high skill ceiling because of his large number of weapons and movesets. V is a character some people love and some hate, but I find his moveset fascinating and enjoyable in most sections of the game. Finally, Vergil brings a new challenge to the table with his Yamato and Summoned Swords. You can’t go wrong with any of these characters, and while everyone will have favorites, it’s impossible not to have fun regardless of who you’re playing as.
Beyond the main story, DMC5 has plenty to offer. Bloody Palace is a huge highlight, offering 101 floors to conquer and master the combat for each character. Replayability is also very strong, with multiple difficulty modes, collectibles to find, secret missions to complete, and the S-Rank grind available as well. Newcomers have so much to look forward to, and veterans can jump into Devil Hunter Edition to grind out Bloody Palace wherever they are.
Smooth As Butter
It’s been almost six years since the release of Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition, and I haven’t replayed the game since then. It was wonderful revisiting it on the Nintendo Switch 2, and the experience is just as good as I remember. Capcom made it clear in the reveal of this port that both handheld and docked modes offer a “smooth 60 frames-per-second” experience, and I can absolutely confirm that is the case. Performance is seriously impressive, not dipping for even a second, with sharp resolution that lets you take in the visuals without much drawback.
Handheld mode, in particular, is where this port shines. Performance locks at 60, and the visuals are great; I never felt like I was playing an inferior version or anything like that. I did find the opening mission to be a little dark with the recommended brightness settings, but that was an easy fix and isn’t something I noticed elsewhere. Docked mode has a noticeable step up in resolution, and performance locks here as well. I was impressed by how steady the performance is, as even in combat encounters with a high number of enemies, it didn’t budge. You’ll find aliasing and some hair that doesn’t look as good as other versions throughout, but this isn’t anything offensive and is in line with Capcom’s other ports.
Playing this after years and years of RE Engine releases makes it all the more impressive, in my opinion. This game still looks absolutely beautiful, and it’s a testament to Capcom’s work with RE Engine since the early years. Docked mode is great and feels just like playing on PS5 or PC on a display, but handheld mode is where I got the most out of Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition. Capcom has once again continued the trend of great Switch 2 ports, with this one having the best overall performance of the company’s 2026 releases for Switch 2. Considering DMC 5 originally released in 2019 and 2026 releases included Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata, that’s to be expected, though.
Jackpot
Devil May Cry5 Devil Hunter Edition plays like an absolute dream on Switch 2. I had a really hard time putting it down. Whether docked or handheld, this is a wonderful way to check out one of Capcom’s most memorable games of the last decade. It’s a natural fit for Switch 2, especially as the mission-based structure and Bloody Palace mode make it a perfect game to chip away at in handheld mode.
Now that Devil May Cry 5 is playable on the Switch 2, maybe Capcom will get around to bringing Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition over and complete the collection. And, of course, the eventual Devil May Cry 6 wouldn’t be bad, either. Capcom recently confirmed that Devil May Cry 5 has passed 11 million copies sold after having its best sales year yet, so here’s hoping there’s more DMC in the not-so-distant future. For now, though, I’m happy to have such a wonderful action game from Capcom’s catalog on the go.
